Autoclave Engineers Providing Tools for Research and Industry 1,000 ml Bolted Closure Stirred Reactor At a Glance Volume: 1,000 ml Vessel MAWP: 5,500 psi @ 650° F (Design Pressure) (379 Bar @ 343° C) Material of Construction: 316 Stainless Steel or HASTELLOY® C-276 Principle of Operation The Autoclave Engineers’ Bolted Closure Reactor has been designed for reliable high pressure operation. The seal is a metal gasket machined from the same material as the vessel. Many combinations of standard components are available. The cover of the unit remains fixed in the stand to permit opening of the vessel without disassembling any process connections. The body is easily removed and drops away from the cover. General Specifications Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) 5,500 psi @ 650° F* (379 Bar @ 343° C)* Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT) -20° F @ 5,500 psi (-29° C @ 379 Bar) Maximum Recommended Operating Pressure (MROP) varies based on gauge, transducer, and rupture disk selection. Refer to Ordering Guide for Details. Critical Dimensions: 1,000 ml Inside Diameter: 3.0” (76 mm) Straight Wall: 8.71” (221 mm) Approximate Dimensions: Tall Bench Top Floor Stand Overall Height** 39.4” (1002 mm) 61.8” (1570 mm) Width: 20.5” (522 mm) 25.0” (635 mm) Depth: 26.2” (665 mm) 26.5” (665 mm) * 650° F (343° C) rating is vessel mean wall temperature. Actual Process temperature will be lower. ** Overall height based on belt driven units. For actuals see standard drawings. 1,000 ml Bolted Closure Reactor Internals Stirred Reactors

Nine .031” diameter holes are drilled in the sparge ring to bubble gas into the reactor. ‡ The tube that forms the thermowell is 1/8” O.D. and 1/16” I.D. with a plug in the end. A 3/32” port is drilled in the cover to guide the thermocouple to the opening in the thermowell.
